4.37

(8. Guiwei) The śramaṇa Śrībandhu and others, eighteen in all, came from the Western Regions. The Emperor despised their strange customs and had them cast into prison. Presently, a Vajra deity smashed the prison gates and brought them out. The Emperor was terrified, and immediately sent them away with generous gifts. At that time, state affairs were in turmoil, and he was unable to revere and honor [the Dharma].
